...part-time cook and “professional marijuana-guru” living in Manhattan’s East Village, was mentally ill and thus was not accountable for the slaying of Monika Beerle. They also exonerated him for supposedly dismembering her body parts, cooking those body parts into soup that he served to the homeless, and for leaving her bleached skull in a bucket of kitty litter at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Today the story has been mythicized, often extrapolated beyond belief. “Yeah, I tasted the soup,” a homeless man once claimed...
...nothing more depressing than having to double amounts that already border on the expensive. The typical poor college student begrudgingly gnaws away for months at stacks of ten-cent ramen noodles; said student would find himself drowning in a $9.50 chicken ramen bowl—the cheapest soup on the menu. This menu reads: “All dishes at Wagamama are cooked to order and then served immediately to your table. This means that individual selections of your side dishes and entrées may be delivered at different times.” It also means that a group...
...Ferris Bueller, however, quickly wades into waters far too deep for him. He makes all the usual mistakes nonscientists make whenever they try to take down evolution, asking, for example, how something as complex as a living cell could have possibly arisen whole from the earth's primordial soup. The answer is it couldn't--and it didn't. Organic chemicals needed eons of stirring and slow cooking before they could produce compounds that could begin to lead to a living thing. More dishonestly, Stein employs the common dodge of enumerating all the admittedly unanswered questions in evolutionary theory...

With typical early spring break optimism, I thought my column would be long finished before then.The soy fish, pork soup, and tofu I had the first lunch were good, the pumpkin flan was interesting, and the display case full of rice marked “Lice” was touchingly Lost in Translation. Everything was distinctly Japanese, but nothing other than my having eaten it all in the same city...
...were people who didn't like the symbol any better than they liked the movements it represented. They saw it as an inverted broken cross or "the footprint of the American chicken." But it kept spreading through the culture. Like the Christian cross, which has served the purposes of soup kitchens and Crusaders, the Sisters of Mercy and the Ku Klux Klan, it was adaptable. Over time, it evolved from its narrow association with nuclear disarmament into an insignia for countercultures of all kinds. Hippies made it a sort of all-purpose symbol of peacefulness.
